Description of Ulpan-Or’s 1 Grade Program

An interactive and integrated program which guides the student
through a step-by-step and coherent approach through the
following content:

1. Familiarity with the Hebrew letters – both reading and writing

2. Reading and writing simple sentences
3. Expanded vocabulary - learning up to 10 new words for each
letter
4. Reading and writing exercises and activities

5. Teachings on wide-ranging topics including months of the year,
days of the week, arithmetic, weather, and more
6. Learning through conversation
7. Connecting to Israeli culture in an authentic way and becoming

friends with “Sabras” (native Israelis) through filmed dialogues

Hebrew alphabet (with a few bonus units as well). In each unit, the
student will encounter a different letter, how to read and write the
letter, as well as learn vocabulary and phrases based on the letter. Each

subsequent unit builds on the previous unit so that the student repeats
and reviews what has been learned, allowing the student to deepen
his/her language acquisition while progressing through the program.

The interactive exercises in each unit are a fun and experiential way

accompanied by a dialogue so that the student learns through
conversation and can start speaking Hebrew from day one!

As the program progresses, the student begins to learn basic syntax
